Kate Middleton and Prince William in Pakistan

England’s royal couple, Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William are in Pakistan for five days. They arrived there on Monday 14 October 2019. Kate was wearing a light blue dress with pants that matched.

This attire was probably inspired by the dress code of this Asian country namely the salwar and kameez which most of the women there wear.

The dress and color that Kate chose to wear on her arrival in Pakistan also bear a close and striking resemblance to what her late mother-in-law Princess Diana wore when she went on a tour to that country in the year 1996.

Princess Diana had also worn an outfit of a similar color at that time. Kate’s outfit also had a neckpiece and was similar to the scarf that Princess Diana had worn on her tour. The dress was designed by Catherine Walker who used to frequently collaborate with the late Diana on her dresses.

What dress designer does Susan Kelley state?

Susan Kelley is the editor of the whatSheWore.com website. She told PEOPLE that she firmly believes that on this tour, Kate will wear the traditional wear one more time at least.

She also revealed that though Kate does look up to Princess Diana for inspiration while designing and wearing dresses for special occasions, she is also cautious not to copy her in entirety.
